Explanation of how we are able to provide differentiated services to meet the individual needs of schools and districts.

As an integral part of HMH, Saxon products and programs have a proven record of success in every type of setting-urban, suburban, rural, public, private, charter, and parochial. The success of Saxon programs can be attributed to the program's unique, effective, and research-based pedagogy, which helps students develop a deeper understanding of concepts and how to apply them. Saxon's innovative instructional approach breaks complex concepts into related increments, recognizing that smaller pieces of information are easier to teach and easier to learn. The instruction, practice and assessment of those increments are systematically distributed across a grade level. This distributed approach ensures that students gain and retain critical thinking skills. Saxon Math is the nation's best-selling and most thoroughly researched skills-based mathematics program for grades K-12. Saxon's unique pedagogical approach, based on instruction, practice and assessment distributed across the grade level, incorporates 25 years of research and classroom experience. This same successful, classroom-tested approach is also applied to the popular Saxon Phonics and Spelling K-3, Phonics Intervention for older, struggling readers, and Saxon Early Learning programs.Saxon customers have a wealth of knowledge and experience at their reach, with consultative services, educator training, product training and product-aligned courses designed to meet the needs of today's students and educators. HMH provides innovative and effective learning solutions for students in all grades that meet the needs of each individual student. Saxon products focus on standards-based resources and related services targeted to address districts' most demanding challenges, including preventative solutions. Our consultants will work with each school/district to determine which products and services best meet the educational needs of students, selecting from the many available within our catalog.
